MAX WAGNER
Saxophonist / Vocalist / Composer / Lyricist ...that cat can scat!
Max Wagner is a dynamic and accomplished saxophonist and Jazz vocalist. He has received notice in DOWNBEAT magazine, been described by the Denver Post as “a powerful and innovative soloist”, by Westword as “Denver’s candidate for the ‘Alto Madness’ award”, and in the Coloradoan as a “world class Jazz artist”. The Kansas City Star says “Max Wagner’s music is food for the soul.” Max has worked with many of the great Jazz Artists of our time, and has performed across the country in Concert, at Jazz Festivals, in Jazz Clubs, and performed live on Radio and Television. His latest CDs, “Gratitude” and “Night Song” were each named album of the month by Denver’s nationally top-rated Jazz radio station, KUVO; and also received national airplay. He lives by the premise that in music, and in Jazz in particular, "saying something” is still the bottom line. For Wagner, Jazz is more than music—it is a profound expression of humanity, a bridge between artist and listener, and a legacy of love and creativity.
Max Wagner playing sax and singing and scattin’ with the famously virtuosic pianist, Eric Gunnison, the uniquely talented and always entertaining bassist, Gonzalo Teppa, and with the spectacular, amazing and nearly psychic Mike Marlier on drums! Max is really looking forward to playing for you with these cats, what a dream group!! Be sure to come early, and don’t miss a note!
“Every moment in a Jazz performance is the moment of truth.”
–Max Wagner
